I like Anastasia, but not with Antoine. It's too matchy. I think you said you want two, but if you had third what would go with Antoine and Anastasia, Andreas? Of course it's your family, but with so many names out there I think you can pick something a little more separate. I know families where the kids have matchy names and mostly the kids don't like it.

Thanks everyone for replying. Husband's far-and-away favorite thus far is Cassiane (of the ones discussed). Anastasia we're both a bit blah on; he has a family friend named Anastasia whom no one likes, and there is the similarity to our son's name + the rising pop culture influence of the name due to the book trilogy.

I am not Arab myself so am a little reluctant to give an Arabic name in the first slot, so I think Noor will likely be middle-name-only territory. [And CosimaNoor is out... I just keep hearing cosmic manure].
